Are you talking about Discord in general or specific Servers? I ask because any of the Servers I was on were very targeted, even the ones I left after deciding they were not for me.

John Vere Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 (edited) I’ve abandoned it anyway. No time to waste on it. I was only interested in the Stem separation anyway. I just found a much better alternative. Mixcraft. I haven’t looked at it for years. Check out the demo. So far only thing missing is a smart tool. It has Ara for Melodyne and does 5 track stem separation. A download midi file not only loaded up instantly it sounds really good. Sonar has no GM player now. It comes with some really good plug ins. It has a store where they list 100’s of plug ins with a lot of fee stuff listed. Early days but so far I’m impressed. Only $120 too. I got a lot done in no time with out opening the manual. I think this one’s been overlooked and it’s just seen some major updates. I tried Studio One yesterday and the GM player has gotta be the worst of them all . It’s sort of like Cakewalk but it’s also $500. Out of my budget. Cubase is way out of my budget. I’m also going to look a few of the others just to see what is up. Some are very reasonably priced. Its 2017 all over again but things have improved at lot since then. Edited March 23 by John Vere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Actually the Halion is one of my least favourite of the GM players. If you look on my You Tube channel you will see I demoed all the different players and played a midi file through each and then compared the sound quality. The Halion was down the list. Example the guitar patch sounds like a Dobro? I just installed the Cubase 12 and I see it still sounds the same. There’s a few free sound fonts players I demonstrate in the video that work fine.
